Re: Mr G
Nice condition car. An opportunity to own such a low mileage 280 doesn't come along very often these days.

Oh go on then, I'll take it. Although I think Dr B needs a lesson on how to detail the engine bay from Andrew & Nick, the paint may be shiny but I wouldn't want to open the bonnet if parked next to our forum friends, especially if I'd just paid over £30k for it.
Nice car though.

Re: Mr G
If I had loads of money (80s talk ) I would have a very large man cave / garage and just buy that to look at but I will say I am very happy with my little Capri I have . And also I would have a mk1 Escort and mercury grey XR3i with mk1 Capri & mk2 white jps. O yes loads of clocks and pocket watches .
Don’t think I would need a big house as I would never be in there might just pop home for dinner and to see the kids and wife . Me dog would be with me as normal .
Sorry gone in to dream mode .

That dirt has probably accumulated from 1989, so worth moreCaprifan Rob wrote:Oh go on then, I'll take it.

Re: Mr G
From what I understand from the advert, Dr B isn't actually selling the car, merely listing it for it's current owner. Thus, he can be excused for the car not being up to his usual standards of cleanliness.

Re: Mr G
Hi Jason, have you noticed that even 80's watches have had a comeback, they have remade this (as well as others) which was popular back then. I still have an original one.Jasonmarie wrote:O yes loads of clocks and pocket watches .

Re: Mr G
It’s funny you say that as I did have some old Timex divers watches that were 70s and they sold for around £60 each also people are collecting 70s 80s watch’s even them plastic swatch’s that have a cheap battery are going for stupid money .
Many watch & clock people thought that watch’s were coming to the end of there life due to the mobile phone but like old records they are making a come back .
But the old casino you was the dogs ..... if you had one of them also loved the beeping alarm you could not beat .

Re: Mr G
It's great to see isn't it. Also, old calculators I have noticed are starting to become collectable. All these things that we had in abundance back then. I can only assume that the charm and 'feel' of items we used to have is what people are craving for now in this modern age of blandness.andyd wrote:Nice to see older style watches making a comeback Paul

Re: Mr G
I used to have a Timex for years, loved it, went through a few straps but the watch just kept on working. Might still have it as I kept the watches I always used to have, must get them all out. I used to love analogue stopwatches too, not something you tend to see now, still got a Smiths one.Jasonmarie wrote:It’s funny you say that as I did have some old Timex divers watches that were 70s and they sold for around £60 each also people are collecting 70s 80s watch’s even them plastic swatch’s that have a cheap battery are going for stupid money .

Re: Mr G
My fault dreaming of my ace garage with clocks and watches and perhaps a fighter jet on the roof and a old juke box in the corner so I can play music to my cars ( I have been caught out talking to my old Capri at work when I was doing a oil change in the underground car park )
